Power configuration settings on Win2K3 and Win2K using "powercfg.exe" sandy.pune4-Jul-09 1:29 sandy.pune 4-Jul-09 1:29  I am using the "Powercfg.exe" (Power Settings Command-Line Tool) for changing the power settings on different platforms. The power options (switches) I am using are 1. Enable Hibernation (/HIBERNATION) 2. Enable Device wake (/DEVICEENABLEWAKE) For Windows XP and Vista these switches work perfectly fine. The problems I am facing are on Win2K3 and Win2K 1. Win2k3: "Powercfg.exe" do not have the “/DEVICEENABLEWAKE" switch. Is there any another way to configure the device wake enable settings on Win2k3? 2. Win2K: do not have the "Powercfg.exe" command line tool, if we are using the Win2K3 "Powercfg.exe" utility to change the settings. The same issues are there for Win2K as well. Apart from the command line configurations are there direct APIs available? Any similar option to PROVIDER_SPECIFIC_MESSAGE_CLASS in CEMAPI. Le@rner4-Jul-09 1:28 Le@rner 4-Jul-09 1:28  Hi all, please explain me in CEMAPI having any function which is having same characterstics like PROVIDER_SPECIFIC_MESSAGE_CLASS . please help me hor this. thanks in advance.

Le@rner4-Jul-09 1:27 Le@rner 4-Jul-09 1:27  Hi all, i m using cemapi to sending sms, for sending texe sms use value "IPM.Note" or "IPM.SMStext". now i want to send a msg that should be displayed immediately but not stored, like same when i set PROVIDER_SPECIFIC_MESSAGE_CLASS to PS_MESSAGE_CLASS0 . i think this can be done with use of PR_MESSAGE_CLASS in CEMAPI. please tell me i m on right track,if not please suggest me right function for this. so please what value can i use? please help me. thanks in advance.

The style of my CListCtrl is large icon.When I try to insert an item into it,the icon of the new item is always at the end. But the index of the new item is correct. For example: before insert F A C E B D after I insert F to index 2,like this: m_ListCtrl.InsertItem(2,_T("test..."),0); A C E B D F though index of F is 2. attributes of the list control: autoarrange-true;sort-none;alignment-left Anyone can help me? Thanks in advance. Re: order of icons in CListCtrl «_Superman_»4-Jul-09 3:00 «_Superman_» 4-Jul-09 3:00  Could you try with autoarrange set to false. «_Superman_» I love work. It gives me something to do between weekends. Re: order of icons in CListCtrl popwander9994-Jul-09 21:48 popwander999 4-Jul-09 21:48  Thanks for your answer,superman. Actually I've tried this but failed. After all, i need the autoarrange attribute when removing items. Now my solution is sorting items by index mannually. I am waiting for better solutions. getting data from non-.txt files properly UserNameless3-Jul-09 21:25 UserNameless 3-Jul-09 21:25  Is there any way to read files such as .doc, .xls and load their data into a buffer? I used fstream functions to open a file, get its data and put its data in another file. on .txt files it's able to take that data and successfully place it in another txt file fine. however it's not the same for .doc or .xls files (get weird characters, possibly japanese ). was wondering if anyone could suggest an alternative, or a fix on reading data from non .txt files properly. thanks Re: getting data from non-.txt files properly Cedric Moonen3-Jul-09 21:42 Cedric Moonen 3-Jul-09 21:42  Well, .doc and .xls files are binary files. They do not only contain text, but also all extra information (formating, styles, ...). Otherwise, where would this information be saved ? If you want to read the data in them, you have to use automation (google for word automation and excell automation). The subject is a bit too broad to cover here. For other file types, it really depends of which type of file you want to open. Each file type has its own format, and you either need to parse the file accordingly to the format (which is probably a though job) or find libraries that do that for you.

To read XLS files, you can try BasicExcel - A Class to Read and Write to Microsoft Excel[^] or XLW[^]. There are such wrappers around to read/write DOC files as well, just do a search.

I've recently written a couple of C batch programs, now successfully in production. I've now been briefed to write a C subroutine, for use by non C main programs, and have come across a fundamental problem: How do I exit a C subroutine? Is this a design issue ie should the code flow return to the top level where a normal'return' will take control back to the calling code or is there more to it? Re: Sub programming in C «_Superman_»3-Jul-09 21:57 «_Superman_» 3-Jul-09 21:57  The subroutine in C language is called as function. Do you mean that you have one function which calls another function and soon? If so, yes you have to keep returning from the functions, either using the return statement or by reaching the end of the function, till you reach the top level function. Whenever a function calls another function, it puts the return address on the stack just before the second function is called. So if you have a deep level of function calls, the stack has to unwinded properly. «_Superman_» I love work. It gives me something to do between weekends. Re: Sub programming in C Andrew Jenkinson4-Jul-09 22:20 Andrew Jenkinson 4-Jul-09 22:20  Thanks for your reply; no, my query was about a seperately compiled piece of non-'C' code calling my piece of seperately compile 'C' code. But I think your answer was correct; I need to treat my code as a function so that control returns to the caller by going up the stack and exiting via the final 'return'. Re: Sub programming in C Stuart Dootson3-Jul-09 23:26 Stuart Dootson 3-Jul-09 23:26  Andrew Jenkinson wrote: How do I exit a C subroutine The 'return' statement. Either 'return' for a void function, or 'return value for a non-void function. A void function can also return by reaching hte end of the function. Here are some examples: void VoidFn(int value) { if (value < 0) return; printf("%d", value); } int NonVoidFn(int value) { if (value >= 0) return value; return -value; } You can return from anywhere in a C function, but many people recommend using only a single exit point. Personally, I take the pragmatic approach - if it makes sense to return earlier than the end of a function, then just do it.

You can even view the high-level constructs as wrappers or macros * Mind you, I'm amazed (or horrified) that wherever you work is just moving from COBOL into C (legacy apps I guess). You've a lot of catching up to do...

Re: Sub programming in C Andrew Jenkinson5-Jul-09 0:42 Andrew Jenkinson 5-Jul-09 0:42  You're right, I've quite enjoyed using C, though I still feel more in control working in assembler. Guess it's an age thing These last 10 years or so have been spent on migration projects, working for companies moving away from their legacy applications which is why I'm picking up things like C and .NET (I'm an MCP & MCTS now, for all the good it does me!) My specialisation is a mainframe commisioned by NASA as a number crunching machine for the moon project, which shows its age. These machines tend to run large applications which take a lot of redeveloping which is why some still exist. Re: Sub programming in C molesworth5-Jul-09 12:53 molesworth 5-Jul-09 12:53  And there was me thinking NASA had the latest, greatest systems on the planet Although, I have seen pictures of the shuttle with several laptops runnning the "real" flight code, and interfacing to the outdated flight computers, so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. As an amateur astronomer and spaceflight fan I've been following the technology developments for a long time - in fact I started programming about a year after Armstrong and Aldrin stepped onto the moon. Even then the hardware being used was a bit behind the leading edge, although I can well understand that reliability and reproducability play a huge part in choosing flight hardware. I bet there's still some code running today that was written in the 60's... Anyway, I'd highly recommend a few home-brew projects to get more familiar with C and C++ - there must be a few ideas you've been thinking about for years that you could try out, and use to learn the new stuff you'll more than likely need in years to come. I spend all day writing "work" code, then relax in the evenings by writing "my" code. I can mess about on whatever I want, learn new stuff, and it doesn't matter if it's never finished. Although, I suppose I'm lucky in my job - a bit of C# for tools development and non-critical code, C++ for the proper engine coding, a bit of Python thrown in, and assembler or IL for those "shave off the last nanosecond" critical bits.
